May 17, 2022 PPFD Minutes Page - 2  Discussion on HB-1329 - Open Government Meetings Act (OPMA) Updates Effective June 1, 2022, and Possible Updates to the PPFD Charter (Eric Ferguson) Mr. Ferguson provided a brief report on the Washington State Legislature House Bill-1329 – Open Government Meetings Act, which will go into effect in June 2022. He stated that the PPFD Board should finalize and implement its Bylaws (started some years ago), which will address these new laws, as well as define other functions, duties, etc., such as regular meetings, agenda content, etc.  Next Steps for the PPFD: Staffing and Project Management (Zach Ratkai) Mr. Ratkai discussed the next steps for the PPFD staffing and project management of the design and construction of the aquatic facility. He recommended the PPFD Board hire staff to oversee the management of the facility project. Mr. Zabell continued by describing the skill set needed for the PPFD staff. Mr. Ferguson noted that the PPFD Charter will need to be amended to allow the PPFD Board the ability to hire staff directly. The PPFD Board members and City staff discussed the Board’s authority based on the RCWs and the need to amend the PPFD Charter to allow the Board to hire staff directly. The PPFD budget will also have to be adjusted to include additional expenditures. The Board will need to request a loan from the City to cover those expenses associated with the aquatic facility until funding is received through the collection of the sales & use tax to cover the expenditures. Therefore, a new interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City will need to be drafted. Besides providing a loan to the PPFD, the ILA may also include language of the City’s commitment to support the PPFD’s staffing needs (executive director, project manager, accounting services, etc.) for a period.  Discussion on Capital Costs / Operations Budget Considerations for the Aquatic Facility (Mark Morrissette) Mr. Morrissette referred to the documents that were included in the agenda packet for consideration of an operations budget for the Aquatic Facility. The PPFD Board members and staff discussed what the staff will be needed to help with the management of the capital cost and operations budget for the aquatic facility. They confirmed the need for a new Interlocal Agreement with the City to assist PPFD staff as they are hired, as well as fund the activities needed to move forward until the PPFD has sufficient funding to reimburse the City. Executive Session: The PPFD Board adjourned into Executive Session at 5:18 PM for 15 minutes to discuss the consideration of site selection or acquisition of real estate purchase or lease if likelihood that disclosure would increase price per RCW 42.30.110(1)(b) with the Pasco City Manager, Administrative & Community Services Director, and the Pasco City Attorney.
